31st week

I'm in my 31st week that is about 7.5 months. My tummy suddenly grows so big until everyone kept asking if I'm going to deliver soon. When I said I still have 2 more months to go, they then turn to say if I’m expecting twins. Of cos’ not. Mine is a girl – a big girl I suppose.

The doctor said the baby is on the big side. At 7th month, she is abt 2.23 kg. This is usually the weight of baby nearer to birth – abt 8 month. The baby gained approximately 100g per week. Based on this calculation, she will be 3.5 to 4kg near birth. The doctor said if I want to deliver her naturally, will depends on the size of my pelvic bone and also the actual day situation. I really hope to deliver her naturally. Both beneficial for me and the baby.
Me and gong gong till now is still thinking of her name. We agreed on the English name of "Fion". This came from the initial idea of her Chinese name being Foo En Qi, however, I was swayed by relatives not to have that name. But guess the English name should be fine. So we are still stuck with no Chinese name. 2 more months and the baby will be out. We actually came up with a few and it has been decided that we will seek the help of a fortune teller to see if the name is suitable, if not for the fortune teller to come up with a few selections. Though both of us are not the superstition type, but gong gong felt name is forever. It is better to think of a good name for Fion.
Gong gong started writing a song for Fion, but he just wrote 2 verses so far. He kept singing the 2 verses for her. Sometimes she responds to the song, sometimes she doesn't. Somehow I find Fion doesn't respond to us when we try to talk to her at night. She's more responsive during the day.

As she grows bigger, every morning on the bus, I will try to wake her up and talk to her. Sometimes I worry she will just stop moving. She has been a very well-behaved gal in my tummy. Despite my busy work schedule, she always co-operate with me. So far, other than occasional backache, I never had to take medical leave becos’ of her. She is so nice to me. I love you Fion.
